    I’m confused. What makes you think they have been put in a position of authority? Anyone can simply create a fork, or a separate project completely, and go a different direction. You’re not obligated to use any third party crate.

    I do agree that they handled that interaction pretty poorly, though.

      That particular interaction was handled poorly, but isn’t this issue about adding essentially two 3 line helper functions to the library? Forking just for that seems unnecessary. You can instead make a new library that depends on this one and which defines your helper functions, or just copy the helpers into each project you use. It would be more convenient in base64, but it’s not like it’s the end of the world either.
